All gofers no matter what the handicap level should attempt
to control distance and direction.An
improvement in consistency is the effect of a compatible golf swing.When golfers attempt swing changes without
regard to keeping a balanced or compatible swing, inconsistency is the
result.Golf swings can be upright, Jack
Nicklaus, flat Ben Hogan, shut face David Duval or an open face Nancy Lopez; as
long as all the parts are compatible consistency is the result.

A weak grip should be balanced with a forward ball position,
centered pivot, open face, swing path that is out to in and aggressive hand
action through impact.A stronger grip
should be balanced with a centered ball position, closed face, path from in to
out and an aggressive body motion through impact.

There has never been a perfect golf swing, and probably
never will.Keep your golf swing
balanced and compatible and you will have consistent results.

Distance

Golfers are constantly striving for more distance.Trying out new clubs, improved physical
conditioning and the latest secret in a golf publication in an attempt to add
an extra 10-20 yards.All of these
changes are good, but the number one influence on distance is a combination of
club head speed and solid contact.One
without the other simply results in short off line tee-shots.

Speed is the effect of wristcock, arm swing and torso
turn.Maximize all power sources in a
balanced manner will result in an increase in speed.Solid contact is the result of a path that is
from the inside to along to inside.Swing the club on the manufactured angle with the arms in front of the
trunk will produce the correct path, resulting in a square hit.

All golfers should be striving for balanced controlled
distance for improved scoring.Club head
speed combined with solid contact is a guaranteed means of increased distance.
